The record, which features remixes by the likes of Borgore, Celldweller, Born of Osiris, Big Chocolate, Tomba will be released on November 21.

“Finally, after months of gossip and hype it is here!” guitarist Ben Bruce said in a statement. “Stepped Up and Scratched has arrived. It’s the only remix album worth buying, haha. Stepped Up and Scratched was a concept we came up with about three years ago while recording Stand Up and Scream. We are all into a lot of different kinds of music—rock, pop, blues, swing, dance, house, electro etc.—so stepping out of our comfort zone is something we are used to. Stepped Up and Scratched is proof of that.

“This album is a representation of this band as an artist, not just as a metal band. It is full of great remixes that would be perfect in a club/rave setting or at home just to party to.Not only is Stepped up and Scratched a predominantly electronic album, but we decided we wanted to keep it heavy and be different so you will find a lot of the actual music has been left in to the mixes making it a really unique listen and a completely fresh sound/feel. We had a lot of fun working on this record along side the many talented DJ’s that appear on the album. Check it out as its really an album to just get wild to. Enjoy!”

The band will also be heading out on tour in support of the record, supported by Hollywood Undead, Borgore, We Came as Romans and D.R.U.G.S. Following this run Asking Alexandria will set out to support Avenged Sevenfold.

“North America. Ware back baby!” Bruce says. “No more rules, no more waiting and no more bullshit. We are fucking back and we are coming back hard. This is going to be our most uncompromising and crazy live show yet. We won’t stop until everyone knows our name. We won’t stop until this music kills us. The WWIII tour with Hollywood Undead is the start of a new era. It’s the start of something special. We are stronger, louder, harder and more determined than ever. This tour is about all of us. Lets have the time of our lives. See you all there.”

Easy: Halloween. We’re eagerly counting down the days to All Hallows Eve, and we’re doing it by enlisting some of our favorite rockers to select the “most metal” fright flicks of all time. So check back right here at RevolverMag.com every day until the big, bad scariest one of them all. First up, former Chiodos frontman and current Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows (D.R.U.G.S.) singer Craig Owens!

Black Roses
“This, in my opinion, is the best rock-and-roll horror movie of all time. Released in 1988, with a soundtrack full of Tempest and King Kobra, a band comes and rocks a dull Midwestern town. Typical young kids rebelling, older generations lashing out against rock and roll, plenty of pointless topless shots, and every kid they turn into a rocker…also becomes a monster! You couldn’t come up with a better plot if you tried.”

KISS Meets the Phantom of the Theme Park
“This movie will always stick out as a turning point in my rock-and-roll-filled life. My father, a huge fan of KISS, had always forced the sloppy pop rock-driven influence of KISS down my throat as I grew up, almost forcing their music and hooks into my subconscious. However, not until he sat me down and made me watch this movie did I understand how intense the KISS Army really was. In this movie, a gimmick is taken about as far as it can be, when all of the members of the band KISS…fight robotic cyborg versions of themselves!

“KISS? Fighting? What? Aren’t they just a bunch of rock dudes that wear makeup, and that one dude has a long creepy tongue? Well, this movie reinforces the image of the band as superheroes, just like in the previously released comic books, and other clever trademark merchandising scams. With Paul Stanley shooting a beam from his eye that allowed him to control minds; Ace Frehley being able to teleport, and shoot beams from his hands; to Gene Simmons breathing fire, and having the strength equal to Superman, or Marvel’s the Thing; all the way to Peter Criss who could jump, and had the reflexes of a cat?

“This movie was an amazing reinforcement to how ridiculous, possessive and straight up badass this genre can be. Making me feel like I am really only living about 10 percent of the rock-and-roll life I probably should be leading…”
